Hi Bluesky, could really use your help 🙏🙏

We just launched our latest game Starless Abyss - the exact week that Oblivion was shadow-dropped. Which has been *not fantastic* for our launch

If anyone can spare a RT, that would be so, so helpful ❤️❤️

A few years ago, a tweet like this—not just pathetic for obvious reasons, but also lame and unfunny—would’ve been ratio’d into the earth. Now it has 22k likes because the other app artificially boosts and bots the worst opinions from the biggest losers.

Just a shame. That’s all.

Yesterday got me thinking about this amazing thread from David McKenna, who as far as I'm aware does not have an active presence on Bluesky. Highlight tweet of the thread (for me) first, then the full thread archive.ph/GSSce
Tweet from Dave McKenna reads: Poison a person, go to jail, they call you a felon for life. Poison a city resulting in dozens of deaths and thousands with brain damage, get a teaching fellowship at Harvard, they call you ex-Gov of Michigan Rick Snyder. Same with much corporate poisoning. 13/ Tweet thread from Dave McKenna. Abridged: Something I've learned is about the social construction of crime. I work in a legal clinic on wage theft, employers have "improperly paid" workers by not paying, paying below min wage, withholding OT, sick time, etc. Most theft is wage theft. Meaning, the dollar value of stolen wages is greater than the value of all other theft. Yet, wage theft is NOT A CRIME Bar chart shows: wage theft >$19 billion, Larceny $5.3B, Burglary $4.1B, Auto theft $3.8B, Robbery $0.34B. If you steal $100 from your employer, you get arrested. If you call the police because your paycheck is $100 light, the police tell you to file a complaint with the AG; AG will settle the case for between $50 and $200. (Not true, bc AG's only take on big cases with thousands of dollars, but they settle big cases by requiring employer pay what is owed. No jail, no record). If AG doesn't want to take the case, it will give you a Private Right of Action to sue employer for what you are owed + damages. It can take a 6-18 months to win, and months or years to collect if you win. We address the predominant form of theft in the US w civil cases, not criminal. We have defined "wage theft" as not a crime. Theft by you, a crime. Theft by your employer, not a crime. This is what we mean w crime is "socially constructed." Not all social harms are criminalized. I settled a case for 3 clients. We spent a MONTH negotiating the NDA bc if all his employees sued him and settled like this, he would go BANKRUPT. His business model DEPENDED on wage theft. These employers go on to hold elected office. 45 famously used wage theft to improve his finances. Some didn't have resources to pursue multi-year litigation + got nothing. What should we do about it? criminalize employers or decriminalize theft or something else? Quoted tweet from bstonkittymafia reads: Can you explain this reasoning? Why expanding criminal liability is a bad idea? For whom? Continued thread from Dave McKenna: Wage theft shows that we believe restitution is important. Giving the money back is important. Currently, AG keeps track of bad actors and will increase future financial penalties for bad actors. It also shows when harm is committed, we don't have to lock someone in a cage or label them a felon, both of which destroy years of life even after the sentence is over. We can demand restitution instead of punishment. It also shows how ridiculous the label "high crime neighborhood" is. And the arbitrary and racist response of police surveillance in HCN. Because we defined it that way. Consider the social construction of murder: Poison a person, go to jail, they call you a felon for life. Poison a city resulting in dozens of deaths and thousands with brain damage, get a teaching fellowship at Harvard, they call you ex-Gov of Michigan Rick Snyder. Same with much corporate poisoning. The people commiting the most harm aren't in jail, don't live in high crime neighborhoods. And "black people commit more crime" is true only bc of how we have defined crimes, and how we then surveil their community in response to find more crimes. There are so many orgs trying to address harm and create accountability within community + without incarceration. We call ourselves prison abolitionists. Just a few: @byp100 @survivepunishNY @justicehealing @DeeperThanWater @BlackAndPinkBos @BlmBoston A few more you might want to follow or support @GKMC18 @ignitekindred @MsKellyMHayes @prisonculture @crlosangeles If you are feeling like "damn, this thread turned left, why don't we just lock up ALL ppl who commit harm", I'm still learning about how to actually reduce future harms. Former prosecutor + Prof Paul Butler on abolition: https://news.berkeley.edu/2020/01/17/berkeley-talks-transcript-paul-butler/ Continued thread from Dave McKenna, abridged: The incomparable Mariame Kaba, an interview on abolition: https://thenextsystem.org/learn/stories/towards-horizon-abolition-conversation-mariame-kaba Human rights attorney Derricka Purnell & Law for Black Lives' Marbre Stahly-Butts: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/09/26/opinion/the-police-cant-solve-the-problem-they-are-the-problem.html We can prevent wage theft by replacing corporate ownership w employee ownership: worker owned cooperatives that share profits & losses To transform the economy, fund Ujima Project: ujimaboston.com To fight for a right to housing, fund City Life http://www.clvu.org/ To invest in community where everyone's needs are met, fund Movement for Black Lives: m4bl.org #fundblackfutures To transform how we mitigate/respond to violence, fund Violence in Boston Inc. https://www.violenceinboston.org/ QT from @survivepunishNY: In response to the #8CantWait reformist co-optation of decades of abolitionist work, a group of abolitionists has compiled this list. #8ToAbolition Demands: defund police, demilitarize communities, remove police from schools, free people from prisons & jails, repeal laws criminalizing survival, invest in community self-governance, provide safe housing for everyone, invest in care not cops. Graphic's text: #8ToAbolition A world without prisons or police, where we can all be safe. We believe in a world where there are zero police murders because there are zero police. Abolition can't wait. @avitale's book The End of Policing is now available for FREE. https://www.versobooks.com/books/2817-the-end-of-policing Getting a lot of Qs, so I'd like to clarify I am not saying we should criminalize wage theft! QT from djmkenna00: I actually don't think wage theft should be criminalized. You report your employer, police violently lock them in a cage for 24-48 hrs until they can get bailed out, then they get sentenced to prison and the business goes bankrupt. You're still not paid.

NEW: X has become a hotbed of neo-Nazi content under Elon Musk. We identified the operators of four anonymous accounts that share racist, antisemitic, and neo-Nazi content. Three live in Texas. Musk has replied to two of them. One works for the Navy.

I spent 5 years with Drew Brees and I can’t tell you how much I’ve seen Bo Nix morph into him this year.

Demeanor, mannerisms, & cadence sounds exactly like him.

Terry McLaurin has the most contested catches (20) this season per @profootballfocus.bsky.social

Also has the best catch percentage (20/27) for anyone over 12 targets, so he's a high volume shooter that is extremely efficient. The NFL's Jokic!

I always wished fantasy apps did opponent-adjusted matchups, rather than simply doing fantasy pts against

Since we all know a defense allowing 15 fantasy pts to Jalen Hurts is much more impressive than 15 to Derek Carr
